How was the history of post-classical Rome and of the Church written in the Catholic Reformation? The Invention of Papal History corrects this distorting emphasis and shows how historical writing became part of a comprehensive formation of the image and self-perception of the papacy. Historical texts composed in Rome at this time have been considered secondary to the city's significance for the history of art.
Crucial questions were, for example: How were the pontiffs elected? By presenting and fully contextualising the path-breaking works of the Augustinian historian Onofrio Panvinio (1530-1568), Stefan Bauer shows what type of historical research was possible in the late Renaissance and the Catholic Reformation. How many popes had been puppets of emperors?
Could any of the past machinations, schisms, and disorder in the history of the Church be admitted to the reading public?
